The concubine doesn't fall in love, but crazy critics insist on holding her responsible

Chapter 29

It was night, the wind was chilly, and the red paper lanterns were swaying in the wind.

In the courtyard of the second room of the Song family, Xie Yiwan was crying.

When she came out of Huixian Tower today, Xie Yiwan couldn't care less about the pain all over her body. As soon as she got on the carriage, she grinned and examined the hairpin that Pei Shizhi gave her.

The moment the sachet was opened, the bad premonition was confirmed.

After returning to the Hou Mansion and closing the door, Xie Yiwan began to cry.

On the table were a broken bracelet on one side and a crushed phoenix hairpin on the other. Xie Yiwan's face turned red and her whole body was shaking.

Thinking of the initiator, Xie Yiwan was determined to kill Lin Zhiyu. One vicious thought after another surged through her heart. She smashed things and was so frightened that the maids in the room did not dare to breathe.

Before he could finish venting his anger, Runshu came and brought food from Huixianlou.

Twelve black lacquered lunch boxes showed his noble status. This was Lin Zhiyu's thank you gift. It was full of sincerity, but in Xie Yiwan's eyes, it became a slap in the face.

Lin Zhiyu is the only one with money, right?

Unable to suppress his anger any longer, Xie Yiwan beat and scolded Runshu again, spilling soup and food all over the floor.

Then he went to find Song to complain.

Xie Yiwan concealed the fact that she and Pei Shizhi became husband and wife, and told everything about Lin Zhiyu scalding her with tea and causing her to fall to the ground.

She held the phoenix hairpin and her heart was bleeding.

No matter how many skilled restorers there are in the capital, there is no chance that this hairpin can be restored, at least not in the near future.

The phoenix hairpin is only worn by empresses, no one dares to overstep it, Xie Yiwan cannot show it to others, and no one dares to take on the job.

A phoenix hairpin was ruined before she could take a closer look. The more Xie Yiwan thought about it, the angrier she became. The angrier she got, the louder she cried. Her cries were mixed with abuse, like a lunatic with dementia.

"Mom, if I don't get rid of Lin Zhiyu, I won't be able to be upright with the prince."

"Lin Zhiyu will be pregnant in three months. By then, her engagement with the prince will inevitably be put on the agenda. When the date is set, everything will be irreversible!"

"Mom! I am the legitimate daughter of Pingxihou Mansion, and my talent ranks among the top among the noble ladies in the capital. Do I want to imitate those despicable women and become a shameful concubine?"

"Why can Lin Zhiyu, that incompetent bitch, be granted marriage by His Majesty? She still has the blood of a cheap businessman in her body. What qualifications does she have to compete with me!"

Recalling Pei Shizhi's cold words asking her to leave at noon, Xie Yiwan's resentment towards Lin Zhiyu became even stronger.

Mrs. Song was originally comforting Xie Yiwan, but after hearing these vulgar words, she threw away Xie Yiwan's hand and said, "Awan! What did mother teach you on weekdays?! Those who achieve great things need to be calm, hold their breath, and be patient!"

"If you are lucky enough to enter the harem in the future, will you be so rough and impulsive? How can you compete with those women with your temperament!"

"The slightest disturbance will cause chaos. Don't think that Prince Jianning is happy with you now, and you will be able to sit back and relax from now on. A man's love is like a flash in the pan, and it is most useless for a woman! If you want to ascend to the throne, You have to learn to tolerate it!”

Xie Yiwan was rarely scolded by Mrs. Song and was stunned for a moment.

Song didn't expect that something like this would happen today. Lin Zhiyu's performance that he had the upper hand twice could be said to be a coincidence. If it was said too many times, it could only mean one thing.

Mrs. Song looked at the golden phoenix on the hairpin with its neck and wings broken, and said coldly: "Have you ever seen Run Shu since you came back from Huixian Tower?"

Xie Yiwan did not dare to speak loudly and sobbed: "I've seen it before."

Not only did they meet, she also ordered Runshu to tamper with Lin Zhiyu's decoction. Didn't Lin Zhiyu have trouble sleeping at night? She couldn't even think of sleeping soundly again in the future!

"What did she say? Is there anything unusual about Lin Zhiyu lately?"

Xie Yiwan thought about it carefully and said, "There is nothing abnormal. I am bored in the house all day long. I am not cured yet. I am very depressed. I often have nightmares at night." The Song family also heard about this, "What else?"

"And...? The other mothers should have known it. She changed her clothes and her temper has become much calmer. Today she was scolded by the prince. Normally, when the prince coaxes her, she should have yelled and defended, but she actually Accept it!"

"Someone must have mentioned her! Even if that person doesn't know our plan, he should be aiming to gain the prince's favor!"

"Mom, you don't know, the way the prince looks at Lin Zhiyu..."

Xie Yiwan complained endlessly, her words full of jealousy. Through what she said, Mrs. Song could probably guess what the scene was like. She recalled what happened recently. After thinking about it, the only variable was that she was now living in Yixiang. The boy in the garden.

Mrs. Song made a decision in her heart and said gratefully to her who was still complaining about her dissatisfaction: "After all, the prince and her are engaged, so it's better not to overdo it. If you take some of the words in the scene seriously, it would be inappropriate."

"Okay, don't think about it any more. Lin Zhiyu just has the upper hand, and you are not far behind. Since you feel that Lin Zhiyu is interested in cultivating a relationship with the prince, you should work harder to win the prince's heart. , make him unable to live without you and agree to break off the engagement."

"You don't need to be too eager. The prince has confirmed your identity by giving you the phoenix hairpin. Being too eager for quick success will only be counterproductive."

Xie Yiwan recalled the interactions between the two during the day, and nodded shyly, "I don't have to."

"In the past few days, you should stay put. Get some gadgets that Lin Zhiyu likes, spend more time with her, coax her, and make her listen to you. Remember, you must learn to be patient!"

The next day, Lin Zhiyu got up early.

The sky was overcast, and it looked like it was going to snow again. The bare branches were trembling in the cold wind, as if they would be broken in the next moment.

In front of the Hou Mansion, Lin Zhiyu was wearing a fox fur, her nose was red from the cold, standing beside the carriage waiting for Xiao Xuan's arrival.

"Miss, let's wait in the room. Mr. Xiao will definitely go to the main hall to say goodbye. If you have anything to say, we can say it there as well."

Lin Zhiyu shook his head, "I'm holding Mrs. Tang to keep her warm. If you feel cold, go and stand there in Baoxia for a while. It can block the wind."

Lan Sheng was unwilling, knowing that he couldn't be persuaded, so he resigned himself to his fate and rubbed his hands, sighed and stood aside to wait.

After about a stick of incense, Lin Zhiyu saw someone.

The thin and tall figure walked out of the front door, carrying a package alone, with no one to see him off. I don't know if he refused the people in the house to see him off, or because he was simply not welcomed.

Lin Zhiyu shouted in surprise, "Master Xiao!"

Xiao Xuan heard the sound and came over, "Miss Lin, are you going out?"

Lin Zhiyu shook his head, "I'll see you off."

Xiao Xuan smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Tianhan. Miss Lin understands my intention. Please go back quickly."

Hearing these polite and distant words, Lin Zhiyu lowered his head in confusion, "Master Xiao, are you blaming me?"

Xiao Xuan was puzzled, "Why did Miss Lin say this?"

Lin Zhiyu spoke in a weak voice, "Yesterday, I broke my promise again. I thought I could do it, but..."

Lin Zhiyu was stumbling when he spoke and couldn't raise his head.

She really tried her best. Not only did she mention the matter to Mrs. Shen, she also made a special trip to Mrs. Xie's yard in the name of sending something to ask Mrs. Xie to let Xiao Xuan stay.

The result is naturally to return without success.

This was all expected by Lin Zhiyu. She stood here early in the morning and tried her best to force the elders in the house to relent, but until now, no one has compromised.

Xiao Xuan knew what Lin Zhiyu had done. He had already anticipated today's outcome and had made arrangements for the future. However, he never expected that this little girl, who had always been arrogant and afraid of the cold, would stand in the cold wind and wait. Own.
